Product Description
Bakery salt is a finely ground, food-grade salt specifically processed for use in baking and food preparation. It is characterized by its purity, consistent grain size, and minimal additives to ensure it blends evenly in doughs and batters. Bakery salt enhances flavor, improves dough texture, controls yeast fermentation, and extends the shelf life of baked goods. Due to its fine granules, it dissolves quickly and evenly, making it ideal for commercial and home baking applications.

Benzyl Alcohol
Benzyl Alcohol is an aromatic alcohol with a mild pleasant odor and clear, colorless liquid appearance. It serves as a versatile solvent, preservative, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. Benzyl Alcohol is widely used across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, coatings, and as a bacteriostatic agent in injectable drugs. Its relatively low toxicity and good solvent properties make it valuable in both industrial and consumer products.
Blueberry Toppings
Blueberry Toppings are sweet, fruit-based condiment preparations made primarily from blueberries, sugar, and thickening agents. They are characterized by a vibrant blue-purple color, fruity aroma, and a sweet-tart flavor profile. Typically semi-viscous with chunks or pureed pieces of blueberry, these toppings are used as finishing ingredients in desserts, breakfast foods, and beverages. Blueberry toppings may be prepared as preserves, syrups, or glazes and often contain natural flavors and preservatives to enhance shelf life and sensory appeal.
Citric Acid Anhydrous
Citric Acid Anhydrous is a white, crystalline organic acid widely used across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors. It is the anhydrous form of citric acid, meaning it contains no water molecules in its crystal lattice, resulting in higher purity and more concentrated acidic properties compared to its monohydrate form. Derived from natural sources like citrus fruits or produced via microbial fermentation, citric acid anhydrous is valued for its sour taste, excellent chelating ability, and buffering capacity. It serves as a natural preservative, pH adjuster, antioxidant synergist, and cleaning agent, making it a versatile ingredient in many formulations.
Clove Bud Oil
Clove Bud Oil is a potent essential oil obtained through steam distillation of the flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum (formerly Eugenia caryophyllata) tree. Renowned for its strong, spicy, and warm aroma, it is rich in eugenol — a powerful natural compound with significant antiseptic, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties.
Used historically in dental care, traditional medicine, and perfumery, Clove Bud Oil is now widely applied in cosmetics, oral care, food flavoring, wellness, and natural cleaning products. It is also valued in aromatherapy for its grounding and energizing effects.
Clove Leaf oil
Clove Leaf Oil is a high-phenol essential oil extracted via steam distillation from the leaves of Syzygium aromaticum (formerly Eugenia caryophyllata). It typically contains up to 80–85% eugenol, which gives it a sharper, more herbaceous aroma than clove bud oil. This oil is prized for its potent antiseptic, analgesic, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. Used in oral care, topical formulations, fragrances, cleaning agents, and agricultural applications, it is valued for both its therapeutic efficacy and aromatic profile.
Potassium Lactate
Potassium Lactate is the potassium salt of lactic acid, typically available as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid powder. It functions primarily as a food additive, humectant, and preservative with antimicrobial properties. Widely used in the food industry, it also finds applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial processes. Potassium Lactate helps improve moisture retention, extend shelf life, and enhance safety by inhibiting microbial growth.
Propyl paraben
Propyl Paraben is a widely used preservative belonging to the paraben family, known for its antimicrobial properties. It is commonly employed to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food products. Propyl Paraben is favored for its effectiveness, low toxicity, and compatibility with a broad range of formulations, helping extend product shelf life while maintaining safety.
Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP)
Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a white, granular or powdery inorganic compound composed of sodium and metaphosphoric acid polymers. It is highly soluble in water and acts as an effective sequestrant, dispersing agent, and water softener. SHMP is widely used across various industries including food processing, water treatment, detergents, ceramics, and metallurgy. It helps control hardness, prevent scale formation, and stabilize formulations, making it valuable in both industrial and consumer applications.
